Slow Cooker Speckled Egg Fudge: The Easiest Festive Treat You’ll Ever Make


 

Instructions

1. Prepare the slow cooker

Line the slow cooker insert with parchment paper or lightly grease it. This makes removing the fudge much easier once it sets.

2. Add the main ingredients

Place the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, butter, and salt into the slow cooker.

3. Melt slowly

Cover and cook on low for about 1 hour, stirring every 15–20 minutes until the mixture becomes smooth and glossy.

4. Stir in vanilla

Once fully melted, turn off the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

5. Add the speckled eggs

Gently fold in about 1 cup of the speckled egg candies, slightly crushing a few for texture.

6. Pour and decorate

Spread the fudge mixture evenly into a parchment-lined pan. Sprinkle the remaining speckled eggs over the top and lightly press them in.

7. Chill

Refrigerate for 2–3 hours until fully set.

8. Slice and serve

Lift the fudge from the pan using the parchment paper and cut into small squares.

Tips for Perfect Fudge

Use low heat only
High heat can cause chocolate to seize or become grainy.

Stir gently
Frequent stirring helps everything melt evenly.

Line your pan well
Fudge can stick, so parchment paper is your best friend.

Let it fully set
Cutting too early will make the squares messy.
